Bike Rack Solutions?
#11
I am interested to see if I will need an extender to make sure the rack clears the spare tire.

On my Disco, the spare is offset so as long as I put the pedals on the other side of the tire, it doesn't cause an issue at all.
I have been daily driving a '98 Discovery for 17 years. I am going from that to the Defender! Can't wait. The Disco will get a well earned retirement in my garage for occasional weekend drives.

Here is the rack with bikes mounted.
Looks like I posted the other picts to another thread with the same title.

While I might have been able to get the bike/s on, I would not have been able to fold the rack up when not in use. I'm too paranoid to leave it down (without bikes loaded) at a trailhead.

Bike rack recommendation for 2x 60lbs Rad Rover ebikes
I currently have a Hollywood rack but it’s not long enough to clear the spare. I emailed the company and they said extenders would create weak spots and void the warranty. I emailed 1up to see if allow extenders to be used safely. Any other suggestions?
